Thanks! (By the way, it's worth mentioning Patricia's kinship with Cliff Arquette (well known in early TV as "Charlie Weaver") and Lewis Arquette. Quite a talented family!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-5404877539314710532015-01-30T07:03:05.124-08:002015-01-30T07:03:05.124-08:00I have to agree - and Ms. Arquette's choices s...I have to agree - and Ms. Arquette's choices seem to be lending themselves to true career longevity, which is eluding her siblings Rosanna, David, Richmond, and Alexis - none of whom seem to working much. I enjoyed her early movie work in B genre movies like Pretty Smart and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors. I also enjoyed her six season run in the NBC thriller series Medium. She is back to TV right now as well, working on the fourth in the CSI franchise - the about to premiere CSI: Cyber. I actually saw that same aging factor during Medium's run - interesting that she was also making Boyhood during the same period. <br /><br />I have seen little of Anita Ekberg's work - the Abbott and Costello movie I think the only one. But I did appreciate her contribution to the second James Bond movie From Russia with Love. A bad guy has a secret escape route out of the side of a building plastered with a huge painting of the Bob Hope comedy Call Me Bwana - with Ms. Ekberg's face prominently featured on the reproduction of the movie's poster (a movie produced by 007's producers Broccoli and Saltzman - so a little injoke there). The villain slips out a trapdoor that seems to come from Ms. Ekberg's lips - and after he is dispatched by sniper rifle James Bond remarks "She should have kept her mouth shut."Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
